CTD-M 6.25/25 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It combines Metoprolol Succinate, a beta-blocker, and Chlorthalidone, a diuretic, to help lower blood pressure effectively. This medicine not only reduces the workload on the heart but also removes excess water and electrolytes from the body. Regular use can lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications.
